Beans: Black Turtle Seeds

Description

Black Turtle Beans have long been a part of the cuisines of Central and South America. Black beans have a meaty texture and are rich in antioxidants. The distinct shiny black seeds are resistant to disease and can tolerate hot conditions. Come to maturity about 90 days after germinating, and can be harvested when leaves are falling off or have lost most of their color. Sow seeds 1-2″ deep, approximately 4-6″ between seeds.
